Overview
The Viking age course offered by University of Cambridge will explore both their activities ‘at home’ in Scandinavia as well as abroad (in the British Isles, the New World, Russia, etc).
Who were the Vikings? What legacies and traces have they left behind? How and why did they fare beyond Scandinavia? How are they perceived and presented today? Dr. Britt Baillie and scholars from the Roskilde Viking Ship Museum will guide students through the archaeological remains from and heritage sites that interpret this period
As a result of the course, within the constraints of the time available, participants should be able to:
- discuss Viking Age archaeological data (such as artefacts, site plans, and distributions maps, etc)
- evaluate the relative merit and limitations of the archaeological and historical evidence for this period and the difficulties integrating them
- gain knowledge of the variability of the archaeological record in different parts of the Viking World

- The Dawn of the Viking Age
